Perez's career goal as a physician-scientist is to use computational techniques to better understand cancer. To that end he developed GuideScan, a app for researchers who use CRISPR that ensures precision in adding and removing sequences from DNA molecules. GuideScan is currently being used by more than 3,000 researchers worldwide.
